| Review |
A book for the experts, there is extensive coverage of Servlets, as well as much information useful for real-world programming. A key feature of this book that separates it from the rest is how the author includes information (charts and descriptions) of case study results, showing you which techniques are more useful than others.

| Publisher's Note |
This book was written with one goal in mind: to provide Java programmers with the expertise needed to build efficient, scalable Java code. The author shares his experience in server-side performance tuning through measured performance assessments, called optimizations. Each optimization discusses techniques to improve the performance and scalability of your code. Every claim is substantiated with hard numbers and an experience-based evaluation. Java Performance and Scalability, Volume 1, provides invaluable advice that you will, no doubt, find useful in your coding.
Presented in 48 concise lessons that target the most common and critical performance pitfalls, this book offers a plethora of practical tips and solutions for boosting the performance of your programs. These lessons cover performance-critical areas such as memory management, garbage collection, caching, and multithreading.
